"Close Virtual Machine" dialog pop up at boot up.

Recently, after upgraded to 2.0.2, I saw at random time (sometime frequently), the "Close Virtual Machine" dialog pop up during boot up. If I click Cancel then the boot process continued without and problem.

I have the exact same problem with my virtual machine on Ubuntu 7.10 after upgrading to 2.02. Hitting Cancel lets me boot the VM. To me it looks like a mouse-pointer integration bug of some sorts, as I was also seeing "The Virtual Machine reports that the guest OS does not support mouse pointer integration in the current video mode" warning when rebooting the VM.

Attached is the cold-boot-VM-log and the restart-VM-log (Start/Turn Off/Restart).

The boot problem went away after I uninstalled Guest Additions under XP. I can now cold-boot the VM without the Close Virtual Machine dialog appearing.

I never noticed before, but the guest additions that I uninstalled was version 1.62. I'm surprised at the version number because I believe I reinstalled Guest Additions on this VM after upgrading to 2.02.

When I installed Guest Additions from the VM menu, it did say that it was installing Guest Additions version 2.02. Note: The dialog box warning of the unsigned driver appeared under the main dialog, so for a bit I thought the Guest Additions was hung at the "installing video driver..." step.

During reboot the Close Virtual Machine Dialog appeared once again, indicating that this is probably a Guest Additions issue. Again, pressing Cancel let me by the dialog

After installing I confirmed that it was indeed Guest Addtions 2.02 that was installed. The VirtualBox Mouse icon shows that the VM starts up in Mouse Integration mode.

Uninstalling Guest Additions 2.02 allows the VM to start without the Close Virtual Machine Dialog appearing. I will attach the log to this incident as no-guest-addtions.log.

frank,
Prtsoftware stated "appears to be fixed" and I know from my system that it does not happen consistently. Once it a while it would pop up. So far since my upgraded to 2.0.4 it has not popped up yet. However, unless you have access to a bug log where it stated that this problem was found and fixed, I would not close it yet. Do you agree?

The symptoms described by tienhn in the initial report have just started happening on a 2.0.4 system. The same .vdi file has been used with PUEL 1.6.2, 1.6.6, 2.0.4, and the current 2.0.6 without the symptoms happening until recently (first occurrence not logged) when they are happening each of at least the last 3 boots. 2.0.4 was removed and 2.0.6 was installed on 8dec8. The VM is started at least once a day.

From the latest log:
00:01:45.777 Guest requests mouse pointer integration
00:01:45.777 Changing the VM state from 'RUNNING' to 'SUSPENDED'.
00:02:02.662 Changing the VM state from 'SUSPENDED' to 'RUNNING'.

My System: ubuntu 8.04 x64, guest: ubuntu 8.04 32 bit and Win XP
I got the same problem starting from vbox 2.1.2-41885. Every time I re-start the X and at the first time I boot any of the guest OS, the dialog pops up.

However, if booting the same guest OS the second time, the dialog does not pop up.

A month ago I switched host OS from ubuntu 8.04.3 to Slackware 13.0 32-bit and have not seen the "Close Virtual Machine" dialog since. VirtualBox version same at 3.0.6 (but now from VirtualBox-3.0.6-52128-Linux_x86.run rather than repository "deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian hardy non-free"). Xfce version same at 4.6.1 (but now from the standard Slackware 13.0 installation CD .iso files). Sometimes now (~10%?) the WXP virtual machine disappears during startup but I figure that is a different problem.
